THE ST. JOHNS RWIEVV A. W. Mnrklc, Htlltor Published Evory Crda Subiorlptlon prloe $1.00 per year, Tint Kitvmw U entered nt post office In Portland, Oregon, ns malt mutter of the second elms under the Act of Con gress of Mnrch 3, 1879. There are still a vast num ber of vacant lots in St. Johns yet unadorned by a residence, and the persistent cry for more dwellings is continually heard. A. number of new houses have boon erected or are under the course of construction, but they are practically only a "drop in the bucket." Work men arc gotting exceedingly weary of making the trip morn ing and evening and in a crowd ed car to and from distant parts of tho city. They want to live in St. Johns with their families, but they cannot do bo because there is not a vacant house thai can bo secured. Owners of va cant lots hero should make a Bpecial effort to erect dwellings tlinrnnn. which houidnH nrnvintr a profitable investment would bo a great aid to the community and especially to workmen ant their families who are anxious to call St. Johns their home. If you have a vacant lot, build house upon it. and you win lie doing your bit in a most sub stantial way. Start right away For Sale PENNY-A-WORD COLUMN Advertisement", under this lit ad in;; one cent n word, Minimum charge 25 cents. An era of shorter work in u hours in the Northwest has been ushered in, and it is hoped that it will remain so for all time to come. With the shorter hours thus in force for the workmen why should it not lie a troot plan for the local business houses to also shorten the hours. In the husinoHH distric of Portland shorter hours have prevailed for Homo timo.nnil it i said that the principal litisi ncsH houses of Vancouver liav now adopted six o'clock in th evening as closing hour, am night o'clock on Saturday even trigs, would 11 not no a goot plan for St. Johns iiiurchautM to also adopt these hours? Tin would give the clerks an 01 portunity to get more fresh ai and have more time to spout with their ramilies or devoid) ing their war gardens. And the proprietors would also fool bene llted in a hcullhlul way I nun the shorter hours, and if all the grocers and and general mer chandise stores would agree to the plan, they would bo just as lar ahead liiiiiueialiy. 1 he work . a a .a a a ers getting on earner gtvoH an opportunity to get their shop ning done earlier, and so the longer iiuhiiiois hours are no longer necessary. Think it over business men, and keep in Ntuj with the lentle icy or the Union All will fuel tho hotter for tho shorter working hour. It is Maid that during tlx noon hour tho other day when tho band at the I.h.i! hip plant was playing a patriotic air that all stood up and removed their hats but ouu man. A fellow workman politely removed tho hat and handed it to tho owner. who at once placed it upon hit) head, whereupon some out knocked tho hat from bin bond, another tore his number away, and others ejected him ImhIiIj from tho promisou. Tho tdiii workers are InteiiHoly pntriotii through and through, and will not stand for any form of tin patriotism. Wu rugrut that strew of html ncss made it imposwihlo for (ho editor to ho prosont and liuton to tho interesting talk of Col onel I.odornt tho High School auditorium 1 destiny morning. Ho gave his experiences in part at the battle of Vimy ridge, and when ho hail eon. eluded his remarks a wiiutil tan eotiR burst of applause that was prolonged and came direct from tho heart was tendered by tho intensely interested audience. Tho Sans Dion Kions class will present to tho Kvnugelieiil church next Sunday evening a Service Flag in honor of tho boys who belonged to tho class and have gone to the service of their country.
